CHAPTER 64
CITY JAIL
“Why aren’t you in school, Miguel?” Nicholas asked, when he came to visit him.
“I don’t feel like going” He answered. He was wearing a jacket to cover his swollen elbow. He is still reluctant in treating it.
“Are you sick? Your face isn’t bright like before. It’s as if you’re trying to endure an unbearable pain”
Clayton smiled and said. “I’m fine dad”
“Don’t lie to me, son”
“I’m not lying dad, I’m okay. I’m glad you’re not beaten up today”
“I’m just lucky today. How have you been?”
“Something have happened to your son, dad”
“Like what?” Nicholas asked in panic and Clayton smiled.
“It’s nothing negative, so don’t panic”
“So what happened to you?”
“Your naughty son is in love” He said with a smile, showing off his dimples. Despite the pain, he always smile anytime he thinks about Molly Moon.
“You’re joking right?”
“I wish I was, but I’m not joking dad. Her name is Molly Moon. She might not be the prettiest but she’s the prettiest girl to me” He said, grinning.
“Does she know about your feelings?” Nicholas asked.
“No she doesn’t. She cares more about someone else” Clayton said, remembering the incident from last night on how Molly Moon recognized Hayden’s voice and hugged him.
“What are you going to do about your feelings?”
“I might be hot tempered sometimes, but I’m not a fighter. I don’t want to put Molly in a hot seat. If she chooses Hayden, I’d let go of her without telling her how I feel”
“Won’t you tell her about your feelings? You never can tell Miguel”
“It’s obvious she has feelings for Hayden. I confirmed it when she recognized his voice even with the blindfold on”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Miguel, but will you be okay?”
Clayton smiled and said. “I will be fine. Loving her from a distance will be okay with me, as long as she is safe and happy”

THE EDWARD’S MANSION
Mrs. Edward entered Jesse’s room and sees him drawing.
“Ivan left already” She announced.
“Alright” Jesse answered dryly.
“What’s going on Jesse? From what I can recall, you and Ivan were so close.
You were always excited to see him in the house, and all of a sudden, you don’t want to talk to him or see him. Is there something you aren’t telling me?” Mrs. Edward asked.
Jesse stopped drawing and looked at his mom. “Ivan has a girlfriend. He loves her a lot”
“So? That doesn’t mean you should stop talking to him. He has a girlfriend, shouldn’t you be happy for him?”
“I can’t mom”
“May I ask why?”
“Because I am in love with Ivan. I’m gay”
You… You’re what!!!!”

LOUNGE
Dawson and Freddie entered the lounge and sees Clayton sleeping.
“He didn’t come to school, and yet he is here sleeping” Dawson said.
“He is an expert in missing theory classes” Freddie said.
“Can you both shut up? You’re both are too loud” Clayton said, opening his eyes.
“We forgot even the drop of a pin wakes you up. Do you even sleep at all?” Freddie asked, and Clayton smile.
“I don’t sleep like a log of wood like you Freddie” He said and stood up.
“Why weren’t you in school today? Molly Moon asked about you, she was worried” Dawson said.
“I didn’t feel like going” He said trying to leave, but Dawson held his dislocated elbow, and he screamed in pain.
“What’s wrong, Clayton? Are you injured?” Dawson asked.
Clayton couldn’t answer because the pain was unbearable for him.
Freddie took off Clayton’s jacket and he and Dawson gasped in shock when they saw Clayton’s swollen elbow.
The swelling has increased, it wasn’t even straight anymore.
“What the heck happened to you?” They asked at the same time with wide open eyes.
